  • Parametric or Nonparametric Data

    Non-parametric tests are a little less sensitive than their parametric equivalent, and therefore they may not detect small differences between groups.

  • Advantages of Non-parametric Tests

    Thus if the given dataset has a small sample size (n< 30) and follows a non-normal distribution, a non-parametric test should be utilized for testing the hypothesis.
